The menu is huge and full of some classic dishes. They have a full bar so we started off with some drinks, I just went with wine today but my sister enjoyed an espresso martini. We were also brought out some fresh bread and butter and I may have over indulged. I knew I wanted to try the lobster bisque - a favorite of mine. It was served with a fried lobster ravioli on top. The soup was delicious and had an excellent depth of flavor, but I did find the ravioli to be a bit flavorless. I would order this again, or even try the New England chowder too. The entrees come with salad as well, they were bright and fresh and the dressings were great. Honestly, we both were so full by the time the entrees came, we barely touched them, but definitely took them home. The entree portions were huge. I ordered the Veal Milanese. The veal was pretty good, not as tender as I would usually expect, but it had good flavor. I love arugula too. The risotto was a miss for me, it seemed to be loaded with dried oregano, which didn't match the flavor profiles of the main entree and took away from the dish. This is a cute little hidden gem and with a menu that big, I wouldn't hesitate to return. Service was great and the ambiance is super homey.

The food absolutely delivered. The chicken wings had that perfect crunch in every bite, and everything we ordered was on point, the pasta lovers (chicken and shrimp over penne), the chicken stack with eggplant, and the wings were all excellent. What stood out just as much was the service. Even though the place was packed, it still felt cozy, and the staff never missed a beat. Drinks were never empty, and you could tell the team is well-trained and dialed in. The owner was right there in the mix, delivering food, making drinks, and greeting customers. That kind of presence says a lot about a place. Nice touch on the way out too, being thanked for coming. It's simple, but it sticks. Definitely a spot worth going back to! PS don't skip dessert!

Luckily they were open so I could grab a bite. It's located in the historic town of Charlton and the place is quaint with a welcoming cozy feel. This would be a nice gathering place in colder months, as the stone fireplace is a major attraction as you walk in. For my snack, I had the classic calamari, the tavern poutine along with a grilled vegetable salad to share. I figured I would balance out my cheat day with some vegetables haha. It all came together quickly, and the wait wasn't bad. The portion size here is very shareable. My favorite by far was the tavern poutine as the breaded cheese curds and house made gravy with bacon really hits the spot. The calamari was a little on the chewy side and not as tender as I'd hoped. I would definitely pass on it. The grilled salad was presented nicely but had a ton of creamy balsamic on it. I would make a mental note to ask for dressing on the side. I personally am not a fan of overly dressed greens as I prefer them crisp. It wasn't bad, but not something I'd order again. Overall, my experience here was nice and I look forward to stopping in again.

This was an amazing experience. Every touch point was a pure joy, from the moment I entered and was promptly and politely seated, to the last few minutes as I chatted with one of the owners, Chris. Every single interaction we experienced gave us the comfort of being amongst friends who were happy to see us, and more importantly happy to be here. From our fully engaging server to the wonderful highschool sophomore who never let our water glasses get below half full, each and every person made our experience just that: an experience of excellence and perfect attention to detail. Our meals were just as delicious as the people. The Grilled Double-Cut Pork Chop was an absolute triumph--impeccably juicy, beautifully charred, and perfectly balanced by earthy morels, rich creamed ramps, and the bright, sweet pop of local cherries. The reimagined "Ratatouille" was a stunning work of art, featuring a beautifully seared zucchini steak, smoky eggplant crème, and a crisp, fresh nest of squash topped with plump, perfectly grilled shrimp. For the perfect conclusion, the Espresso Crème Brûlée delivered a silky, robust coffee custard beneath a shatteringly crisp caramelized crust, brilliantly elevated by the crunch of cacao nibs. What truly elevated the evening, however, was how flawlessly they handled my strict wheat- and grain-free dietary needs. Navigating menus with these restrictions can often feel stressful, but our server and the chef made every possible effort to accommodate me. They proactively verified every sauce and reduction to ensure they were safe, and the kitchen effortlessly modified the dessert by putting the biscotti on the side. To enjoy a multi-course, world-class meal with that level of meticulous care and total peace of mind is incredibly rare. They didn't just accommodate a restriction; they crafted a masterpiece around it. We certainly won't be waiting another 8 years to return.

For appetizers, we ordered the oysters and burrata and prosciutto toast. I did not try the oysters but the others said they were good. I would order the toast again. For my entree I ordered the steak frites. One of the best steaks I've ever had. Perfectly cooked to medium rare. Had a lovely crust on it. For dessert, we shared the bread pudding with salted caramel gelato, burnt basque cheesecake and pear fritters. All three were delicious but the bread pudding was the standout. I highly recommend ordering it. Also have to mention our server Frank who was lovely and very attentive.

The octopus had a wonderful char and the perfect texture. We ordered the duck and salmon entrees - both cooked and seasoned to perfection. This may be my favorite duck dish I've ever had. And for dessert the bread pudding with salted caramel ice cream was recommended by our server and was excellent. Really just a great dining experience overall'
